Hunger Games
Hunger Games- Trilogy
By Suzzan Collins
Published: 2010
ISBN: 0545265355
Science Fiction
In the twelve districts of Panem, each year one boy and one girl are forced to participate in the Hunger Games, a vicious and scary fight to the death. Katniss Everdeen is a sixteen year old girl, who switches places with her sister to represent District 12. She has fought her whole life to survive, but this might be her death sentence. We follow Katniss on her battles and struggle to survive. Katniss learns a lot about life, about the Capitol power, about the meaning of family and how winning isn’t always good. The trilogy has become increasingly popular with the tween group, especially boys. The book has a mix of battles, excitement, emotion, anticipation, and a look at how lucky our society and world is. Suzan Collins has created a book that creates excitement in readers who think there is “nothing good to read.” The books are being turned into a movie which should be released 2012.
